To me, Jade Empire ushered in the era of modern action-RPGs. An outstanding game in all respects (when it was released; the last time I played it, far too long ago.) it was absolutely one of the top 5 games of the original Xbox generation.
Incredible depth, a fun, fluid combat system, a new standard of voice acting in games, and a true sense of Asian history and culture that is lacking (despite the large number of games originating from that part of the world) adds up to a game that will always hold a place in my heart.
Why don't they make a sequel already?!?
Why don't they at least put out a HD port of the original game??
At this point, I'd even be happy if they just teased us with a trailer for a Jade Empire sequel that may never come to be. P.S. Ubisoft, for God's sake, finish Beyond Good And Evil 2 already!
